Platinum-plated conflict

“The bottom line is that these guys are causing black-on-black violence. We are going to fight really seriously for nothing because people will kill each other for nothing, because this one is getting R30,000 and this one is getting nothing … We don’t want a once-off payment. It must be a lease whereby you continuously pay annually. If each person gets R270,000 a year it’s OK because it is for 40 years, because it will change the lives of the people.” — Community leader Moruti Leshaba
